    The only place I know to deal with hurt like that is a church. If you don't have one you're hooked up with, PM me and I'll do everything I can to get you in touch with someone. God still cares, even when it seems like He's a million miles away.

    My most heartfelt condolences go out to you. My brother killed himself 12 years ago, but I know that isn't the same as losing a child.

    I don't really know what to say except I'm very sorry. As stated you need to find some consuling help quickly; sounds like you have some guilt feelings about your relationship. Whats done is done.

    The HAMB group will pray for you in this time of need.

    Had to deal with this myself years ago with my dad. Don't try to understand it, don't blame yourself. Grieve for certain. Get some counseling. just someone to talk to. Trust me it helps.

    Focus on your family and helping them get though this.

    Sorry for your loss

    Wow. I am so sorry to hear that. I agree, the best place for you right now would be church. I am not a religous person but I know that they can give you help and enlightenment in your time of need to help you cope with your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that. Let me share something from one who recently lost his best friend in the same way, please don't blame yourself and don't believe the thought that you could have done something to prevent it. I am as close as your phone if you want to call me. I lost your number after I bought the pinstriping kit, but my number is 912-278-1314. I'll be praying for you.

    I'm so sorry! I second that. God is our Father, and loves us just like you loved your son. Talk to God like a friend and tell him your feelings. Someday maybe you'll be able to help someone going through the same thing.

    When I first saw this thread on the board I thought "oh no, this is going to be a joke of some kind". As I read on, I could see I was wrong, very wrong. I pray that this is a joke but I also pray it's not (for the hurt ones involved). I'm at a loss for words here except to say that you're going to need to get some counseling on this. That may sound kinda corny but don't try to go through this on your own. My prayers are with you and bios con dios

    Sorry for your loss. You cant blame yourself. depression is a desease that KNOWBODY understands. It is very unpredictable. Most of the time when they reach out knowbody listens and it just happens. I have 2 uncles that did it as well, and I am dealling with it myself.

    God be with you and your family. All I can say is find a good minister to talk with and find some people who have been through this...I am going to post links to some such groups that have online sites. I think talking with people who have been where you are is the ONLY thing that will help you come to some sort of understanding and some kind of peace.
    Remember that you tried to parent as best you could, none of us are trained at that, and that it was his decision beyond your control, probably done in some sort of internal storm of misery in his own life.
    Turn to the other people who matter to you. Renew the friendships and family ties you have.

    http://www.forsuicidesurvivors.com/

    (PS...most ministers or counselors can find you a local group)

    I just googled "suicide survivors"...lots of sites and groups for people right in your place. Try to find one where you are comfortable. Thjere are a lot of people going through what you are going through.

    Words cannot express my sorrow.
    I know what you are going thru, I lost my wife of 33 years the same way.
    Seek out some support group, get some professional help.
    It gets somewhat easier with time but is never forgotten.
    Think of the good times only and he is in a better place smiling down at you. No "if only" thoughts, he is in a beautiful, peaceful place, his cares are gone and he loved you.

    You have my sympathy. I almost lost my 30 year old during a divorce about a year and a half ago to a gun shot.

    I understand the turmoil and pain you are experiencing all to well, I lost my oldest son Cody this year in a car accident.

    My God bless you and your family. If not for my family and friends, I would have not made it this far.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure you were a better father than you think. We fathers suffer from shoulda, coulda, woulda syndrome. I'll pray for you. HAMB Chapel is a wonderful suggestion.
